What isn’t there to love about Matthew Heininger Matthew Heininger Matthew Heininger 6'2" | 225 lbs | LB Brighton | 2026 State NY !? He is a cornerstone playmaker at the LB position for Brighton High School and has now committed to the University of Buffalo. Moreover, the athleticism is a star point for him. Conversely, he covers ground quickly and make plays all over the field. Breaking through the LOS and making TFLs was a constant for him.

Brighton certainly will lean on Heininger heavily to go a long way this season. Locking down the defense and making an impact on offense as a TE. This is a special player that we all will be watching.
